The Victims
Within, walls continued upright, bricks met nearly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
The House's current victims are far from its first - or its last. Though they entered in two separate groups, their paths run more parallel than either group could know, and, in turn, so do their fates.
Green Team: Sophia, Serena, The Rake, Teddy
Blue Team: Fyn, Craig, Adrian, Abby
Sophia Tillbury
Age: 19
Pronouns: she/her
Status: ghost
Weapon: denial
Abilities: banshee scream, withering touch, mediocre haikus, comedy relief
Sophia is, above all else, well-meaning and sincere, however the track between her brain and her mouth is unbelievably short. She came to the House with her "friend," Evie, but has been alone for a long time. Her denial over her own mortality is only rivaled by her denial of her own sexuality.
Serena Choi
Age: 22
Pronouns: she/her
Status: alive
Weapon: multitool
Abilities: stealing, basic gun training
Despite her reserved nature, Serena is a surprisingly good team player. Sometimes it seems like she's the only member of the group who thinks before she speaks. She has a not-so-secret habit of stealing for fun, but it hasn't gotten her into too much trouble...yet.
The Rake
Age: ???
Pronouns: it/its/they/them
Status: corporeal
Weapon: knife
Abilities: sneaking, dreamwalking, palmistry, mediocre humor
A sleep paralysis demon now confined to physical form, The Rake's knowledge of the corporeal world is a bit rusty. It likes power, nightmares, and kitkat. While it likes to think of itself as practical and cunning, it is prone to decisions of the heart rather than the head.
Theodore 'Teddy' Price
Age: 31
Pronouns: he/him
Status: alive
Weapon: book blunt object
Abilities: first-aid, undead negotiation, embarrassing himself
Teddy is a med school dropout with the personality to match. Though awkward, anxious, and harboring a somewhat uncomfortable fixation on the dead, he is suprisingly reliable. His worrisome nature keeps him prepared for just about anything.
Fynleigh 'Fyn' Carter
Age: 27
Pronouns: they/them
Status: alive → dead → alive(?)
Weapon: questions, talons
Abilities: compulsion, resurrection, committing to the bit
A theater kid at heart, Fyn believes in honesty above all else. Their flair for the dramatic tends to border on the supernatural, and their chronic paranoia causes more problems than it solves - though it does solve some. They are the poster child of high intelligence, low wisdom.
Fyn has already succumbed to the House once, though was saved by something taking an interest in them. As a result, Fyn has been reborn in a stronger body at the cost of their humanity.
Craig Carter
Age: 47
Pronouns: he/him
Status: alive
Weapon: blade
Abilities: problem solving, first-aid, IT troubleshooting and repair
Prepared, reliable, and cool under pressure, Craig is the person you want around to help, whether it be a broken car or a broken arm. Despite this, he struggles with abstract thinking and interpreting others' feelings. He is the stepdad of Fyn, whom he came to the House with.
Adrian Lancaster
Age: 27
Pronouns: he/him
Status: undead(?)
Weapon: gun, if need be
Abilities: basic combat training (veteran of The Great War)
Adrian is a known devoted family man. He arrived at the House nearly one-hundred years ago with his beloved, Elena, for whom he has persevered death countless times in his search to find her. Despite his analytical and empathetic nature, his better judgment is occasionally overtaken by his obsession.
Abigail 'Abby' Wright Smith
Age: 23
Pronouns: she/her
Status: alive
Weapon: telescopic baton
Abilities: ...
Abrasive, withdrawn, and pragmatic, Abby doesn't mince words or suffer fools gladly. What she lacks in booksmarts, she makes up for with keen observational skills and physical ability. She works as a night security guard.
